#FPL 2026-27 here we go! I have never Bench Boosted in #GW1 - but there’s a first time for everything, right? Double Arsenal defence - and if Konsa comes in that’s an easy saving. Double Man U mids for the first couple - and an easy downgrade from Mbuemo to the next hot thing. 🧢🤖🇳🇴 Good luck all!

#FPL #GW8 I’ve rarely suffered in FPL by betting against Saka. It’s a strange one to reflect on given how good he’s been generally but there you go. 🌟🦄➡️Tavernier 🍒 🧢🇳🇴🤖 Good luck all!

#FPL #GW8 55 points all out, and a green arrow to within the top 100k - a very satisfying gameweek. Despite disappointments (Cala, Gross, MGW’s points-dodging, my gamble on Fulham’s easy run), there’s a lot to like about how my team is doing. And I can bench an 8-pointer and not mind! 🥳

#FPL #GW7 I didn’t need to do anything for this week 🤷‍♂️ Playing 4 at the back for the first time; hoping my DefCon Daddies can come up with the goods. Keeping MGW for his next away game(s), and the rest of the team picks themselves really! 🧢🇳🇴🤖 Good luck everyone!

#FPL #GW7 A nice green arrow, a suite of returns, a few decisions paying off…that was a good week! Solid at the back, disappointing in the midfield, Haaland at the front. Sometimes this game is simple enough 🤷‍♂️

🌟🦄 Saka replacements: Kinda want to go for Foden.. Kinda think I should go for Palmer… Kinda not sure if I like anyone really… But kinda sure I need to replace him and not rely on my bench… 🤷‍♂️ #FPL

#FPL #GW6 Wildcard! Doubts about Pedro, but King’s the best first sub possible at this stage. Ditched Konsa in anticipation of future issues even if he plays this weekend. Raya set and forget; MGW for the away games; Gonzalo for the next 3; Silva & Muharemović for GW7 onwards. 🧢🇳🇴🤖 Good luck all!

That went pretty well, all things considered. A green arrow off a wildcard, and my captain being the only candidate to do anything; can’t say fairer than that. The best thing? Injuries aside, I don’t need to do anything for next week 💪 #FPL

That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

To quote birthday boy @fplgeneral.bsky.social - “if in doubt, do nowt”. And there’s a lot of doubt this week - Pedro, White, Arsenal’s defence vs Brighton’s attack. So I’ve rolled my free transfer, played 🍁Davis and might wildcard during the break. Rock and/or roll! 🧢🇳🇴🤖 Good luck folks! #FPL #GW5

#FPL #GW5 The tale of the tape was nothing to shout about. But when you’re doubled up on two teams both of which lose 3-0, it can happen. Pascal’s wager paid off though…🤷‍♂️ OR slide to just over 200k; nothing to worry about there though. Now…to wildcard!

I’m taking big swings from a position of strength. Thought about leaving Bruno and capping Haaland, but decided to go with the crowd on here instead. Triple Chelsea, triple Arsenal defence. What could possibly go wrong? Rodon, Bruno, Mbuemo ➡️ Konsa, Rogers, Palmer 🧢🥶 #FPL

Sometimes big swings work, sometimes they don’t. Going big on Chelsea attack worked; captaining Palmer less so. Tripling up on an Arsenal clean sheet was good (thanks Raya); White getting an injury just happens sometimes 🤷‍♂️ Happy with the process, and a green arrow to 79k OR is a good outcome! #FPL

#FPL #GW3 Choices, choices. Here are mine: 🧢🧢🧢🇳🇴🤖 ✅ Benched Pedro against my double Arsenal defence, because…have you seen Arsenal? And Pedro is already potentially >100% EO, so until I add Rogers or Palmer…🤷‍♂️ 🧻 my FT. No emergencies given I can bench Rodon this week. Good luck all! 💪

I’ve had better triple captain gameweeks - and I’ve had significantly worse ones too. Can’t complain! Benching Pedro was entirely justified in the end, even though Rogers stole the double clean sheets. It happens! 🤷‍♂️ Very happy to still be in the top 100k OR. We move! #FPL #GW3

#FPL #GW2 Bench dilemmas all week - settled on praying for a dull 0-0 between Brentford and Leeds, playing both defenders plus Sangare for his defcons and benching DCL 😬 🧢🤖🇳🇴 Good luck all!

It’s not often I score 100 and still have regrets. Certainly felt smug on Friday night; not so much by Sunday evening. Oh well! Happy with my team all round, even if Leeds/Rodon let me down. 65k OR and feeling good! #FPL #GW2

I should do this Bench Boost GW1 more often! 88 points 21k OR Delighted with that gameweek - a lot of choices I’m really pleased with, and the fun of Sangare coming through perfectly. Even with a captain fail for good measure.Great way to start the season! #FPL

I think it’s healthy for me to consider some of the choices I went against when making my #FPL GW1 squad. Here’s what I could have won (lost): 👉 Had a 6.5m defender in most of my drafts; whether NOR or VVD. Went with 2 Arsenal 5.5s instead, who got 11&9 points 👉 Had Mosquera as my only Arsenal def /

👉 Lammens was my main keeper for most of my drafts 👉 Le Fee was locked in my midfield for most of my drafts 👉 Sboz was almost downgraded entirely given how deep he played in Liverpool’s last preseason games 👉I nearly went for Hume or Shaw as my 4.5 defender over Ajer or Rodon All this to say… /

… #FPL is a game with a lot of seemingly 50/50 choices. Some of them have big consequences, and some of them you can get away with. When you draw a blank on all of them in one week, don’t despair - it could have gone very differently. And when you hit the jackpot all over…well, don’t get cocky 😆🤷‍♂️
